Shree: perception

the problem with perception is our tendency to cling to what vibrations or motion or mind or body says to us or informs our perception of existence. yes it is existence and it is a default "already" mode of being. the ego distorts our understanding by creating noise of motion which we think is the only changing reality. reality is perceived and by that way i am saying that it changes, it is fluid, is interdependent and is constructed. all this summarily means that it is only the One medium seen as "many" forms or forces on account of a state of existence.

give everything to the Lord - return it and become empty of any tendency. as existence, what "remains" after giving everything - is God Himself, so why worry? why cling, why attach, why worry, why expect, why plan and why the hell compartmentalize anything? do you not trust Him, who is the basis of all creation and even you? trust means realizing the role of Being without any conditions or formations or motions or manifestations. Shree only is.

one may analyze - say the idea of compartments (or the construct of compartments). compartment is a comparative term constructed by ego and compared, evaluated, debated based on our identification with vibrations or our mind and body. by being engaged in "maintaining any compartments" and how they respond or relate to the notion of me and other, we still remain engaged and hyper and anxious about ever evolving changes. we may choose to dismiss anything - but that  too is a relative response and that too leads to compartments. we may do anything as an act, but as long as it is coming from a position of individual existence, we are still endorsing separation and fear. is this required?

thus, it becomes important to dilute vibrations and make then steady in an experience which transcends everything. we should transcend ourselves as vibrations and hence give "everything" of us to the Lord. by doing this, we do not die at all - but become eternal and the One! hence the word purpose has limitations since it comes from individual perception of the mind. we know about transcendence but it comes from grace or trust - something beyond our own strengths or our own perceptions.

we wish to be prepared. against what i do not know and that too against whom and where and when and why. this constant defense exhausts us and changes are something that happen  - as an aspect of temporariness and that conveys nothing about staticness or any need to do anything. yet we keep engaging and expecting some control and generate some worry and some fear. this may be inevitable. it is also inevitable that we are floored by our own perceptions and wrap us in a cocoon of defense and make it so tight that we do not hear or listen anything different. we harbour and hold on and even accentuate our tendencies and that is what is exactly to be given or even surrendered or sacrificed.
